The index groups namely Alerian Galaxy Global Blockchain Indexes and Alerian Galaxy Global Cryptocurrency-Focused Blockchain Indexes will have the eight crypto indexes listed under them.

All About These New Crypto Indexes Offered

These 8 new passive indexes work on certain rules and are completely transparent.
